Alright so my trio of Red Ackies are coming in Pro Exotics.
I have setup my enclosure to do a "dry run". I plan on keeping them here until they are 4-41/2 months old them they will put put into there adult enclosures.

Here is a picture if anyone would like to make some recommendations I would greatly appreciate it. The glass will be covered with black background to give them 100% privacy.

20-gallon long tank

Substrate is a organic garden soil and sand mix (soil:sand 2:1), added water till it clumps up but no water comes out.

Temps range from 140'F-80'F..Lights will be kept on 24/7 (I plan to keep them hot and feed them a lot)

Multiple hides and a stack for a nice temp gradient while basking.

and of course a water bowl.

Thanks for looking!! All your input is greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't keep the glass 100% covered, there is no need for that.

And you better lock your top, securely, and in multiple spots, or you will go from 3 Ackies to 0 Ackies very quickly : )

Thanks for the input Robyn! I'll take your advice and get some locks.

btw... I got the 3 little ackies today. They were alert and full of energy, they were not hesitant to give a few "hello bites" either..lol But they are very fun to watch. I was very surprised, that they are not very shy and actually very inquisitive.

Thanks for the great monitors!

They are awesome little buggers! Congrats!
